1927-34 Cowley / 1935 Twelve-Four

This model, as with the contemporary Oxford, featured a new design chassis and suspension, with modified braking and steering and was introduced as a basic variant to complement the Oxford model. The "flatnose" Cowley enjoyed a long production run, during which there were a number of changes in specification and engine options. For the 1935 season, the Cowley name was dropped and the model named as a Twelve-Four, reflecting a change by Morris Motors to a naming convention based on engine horsepower rating and cylinders.
